For those who don't know, BBC Radio 4 broadcasts a 15 minute shipping forecast at 12:45am every day. Insomniacs know it well.

Indeed, the forecast at 05.30 does not contain as many weather station reports and usually omits Trafalgar. Nerdy facts from an insomniac.

Not the first attempt to discover periodicity in the chemical elements, but Mendelev was the first to include still empty places in his table, of elements still to be discovered.
